Shantra stretched her hand towards Rithick but he didn't show any sigh. He looked at Neethu, they communicated through eyes. After that, Rithick became cool and he refused to give his hand by insulting her in front of everyone. Clashes aroused between them. Rithick never mind shantra.
Rithick never consulted anything with Shantra before taking a decision. He will do what is right to him? Shantra developed vigilance on Rithick for his actions.
A month passed by,
Neethu's POV::::::
Rithick was very much affectionate towards me and he was the most caring person. He protected me from everyone but in hostel, Shantra tortured me that can't be expressed in words. I never told anything to Rithick. He knew only my smile but my tears are hidden inside.
In between, Mithila came seeing my tears.
"Neethu! Don't worry. Tell everything to Rithick about Shantra" said her.
"Nope! Mithila. If he came to know, he will feel bad. I am happy in college, I don't want to spoil that," I said and starting crying like child.
"Don't cry Neethu" she tried to console me. I laid my head in her shoulder.
"Do you know that I am a pet girl to my village. My family members are too caring and they never scold me for anything but now see my fate. What did I do to Shantra? Why was she always scolding and insulting me in front of others? I can't bare it, Mithila" I said with tears in my eyes.
"Neethu! Where is the bloody?" I could hear Shantra's voice. I was very much scared to see her.
If I didn't meet her she will show me the hell today. To reduce the punishment, I should obey her words.
"Shantra! I am here. Tell me what to do next" I asked.
"How dare are you to tell my name? Call me as Madam. I will offer you a punishment for calling me by name" she threatened me.
"Okay Madam. Tell me" I said
"Wash all my clothes and iron it neatly. You should do it before evening" she said and went out harshly.
Mithila stopped me but I didn't listen to her. I went to Shantra's room and washed all her clothes with my hands. I became so tired as I couldn't iron her dress. Due to tiredness I sat on the couch.
"You bloody? Who gave rights to sit in my couch" she held my hair tightly.
"Ahhh!" I screamed due to pain.
"You deserve this punishment. Can't you do the work assigned by me properly?" She said angrily. Her Friends laughed at me. I cupped my face and cried.
"Don't cry in front of me. I will kill you if you shed a tear. Go and iron my clothes" she ordered me.
I took her clothes and ironed it one by one. Unfortunately, one of her dress got tore down. I was so scared of her. I started crying due to fear.
After sometimes later, she came to me. I informed her that I tore a dress unfortunately. She slapped me forcefully. My chin became red. If I cry, she will punish me more. So I didn't show my tears out.
She scratched all the neatly ironed dresses and asked me to iron once again. I did it as per her order. I was so tried as I couldn't walk properly. I completed all the works assigned by her and ready to return my room.
"Where are you going baby?" She asked gently.
"I am going to my room, madam" I stretched the word madam.
"You are from poor family. As we are from royal family. Who gave you seat to study here? Don't they have common sense to keep which people in which place?" She cursed me with words which I hate. I stood there without replying anything.
In between she brought some drinks. I never saw it before. She and her friends had it. She sat on the couch and stretched her leg straight down. She ordered me to sit down.
"You poor baby! Massage my leg" she Ordered me. I didn't respond it. She said again but I didn't touch her leg.
She slapped me heavily. I screamed due to pain. Her friends also didn't tell anything. I cried as I can't bare. She was insulting me and my self respect.
I need some water. I asked her to give me some water. She refused to give me. I was about to faint.
Finally, she asked me to open my mouth and pour some drinks in my mouth. My head started spinning and I felt my body ache was reduced a bit. I was lying in the floor and about to stand but I couldn't. My legs didn't support me to stand. I could hear laughing sound of Shantra and her friends. I cursed my fate for pushing me to such situation. I started forgetting everyone and an image flashes in front of my eyes. It was Rithick. I cried and cried. Finally I was fainted.
Someone sprinkled water drops in my face. I tried hardly to open my eyelids. Mithila was sitting besides me and I was found lying in bed. My body was not aching as before. I felt relaxed. I cried at once seeing Mithila. I got up from bed and hugged Mithila.
"Mithila! What happened to me? How could I came to our room" I asked her with wet eyes.
"Don't ask me Neethu. Take rest now" she patted me in my shoulder.
"Tell me Mithila, please" I pleaded.
She cried and hugged me back. "You are too poor and innocent girl. I will inform everything to Rithick" she said.
"Please, Mithila. Rithick shouldn't know about this. Tell me what happened to me on yesterday's night?" I asked her.
"How could I tell that?" She said and cried.
I held her hand tightly. Her tears weakened me. I looked at her and wiped her tears.
"You were drunk yesterday..." She paused.
"What?" I got shocked hearing that.
"Yes Neethu! I came about 8.00p.m there as Rithick called you in phone. You were lying in floor blabbering something. That stupid girls enjoyed your act and they shoot photos and videos. I was shocked and scolded them severely. I tried hard to take you to our room. I can't inform to anyone as they will mistake you as drunkard" she said with tears in her eyes.
I cupped my face with my Palm and sobbed like a child.
My phone rang, it was Rithick. I refused to pick up as he could found out from my voice. Again and again he called me, finally I picked up.
"Neethu! I won't speak with you hereafter" he said in one throw.
"Why?" I didn't ask more.
"How many times I have called you yesterday? If you don't like to talk to me please inform me Neethu. I will never disturb you hereafter," he said and hanged the call without hearing anything from my side. Also, I am not in a position to convey more to him. His words gave more pain as I believed he was my only relief. Immediately, I took my phone and I found out that he called me about 123 times. By seeing his love for me, I cried more cursing my destiny.
